Just like ole Forrest Gump said, "Life is like a box of choc'lates, and ya never know what yer gonna git," so it has been today for us! We left the Guadalupe RV Resort this morning at 7:30 to make a short trip to Boerne ("Burney") to have 2 awnings replaced on the RV, no big deal. However, as soon as the tires hit the highway, 1HW quickly realized that something was wrong with the beast, as going uphill, it would not go over 20-25 m.p.h. Since I was following in the car, it was obvious to me, also, so I kept my flashers on for most of the 35-40 miles. Oh, joy... Ancera, the RV dealership, does not deal with THAT kind of problem. It is a Freightliner problem. We decided to let them go ahead and install the awning (some mistake in ordering... there was only ONE instead of the TWO requested), and then deal with Freightliner. So we treked on down to San Antonio, did our mile walk around The Shops at La Cantera, where we could only afford a cup of coffee. I found two perfect tops, one at Neiman's, one at Nordie's.... for a meager $725 each. They are still there.
Next, we tried some other shops to kill more time, and then decided to have lunch at Macaroni Grill, which used to serve some good Italian food. Not today! Apparently, they do not have oil and vinegar for salads, and the sweet house dressing version was awful... sent it back with a YUCK! We each ordered the make-your-own-pasta, both with the crab, scallops, shrimp mix, and added spinach, mushrooms, and artichokes, carefully spelled out in crayon on our little papers. Mine arrived with only the seafood. Not good, and the manager was the one who made it. We were happy to get out of there and return to Ancera for the RV, and we then drove back down to S.A. to the opposite side of town to the Freightliner repair garage.
Needless to say, by 3:00, the line for service was pretty long, and truckers were hanging out all over the place. However, the nice service guys made us feel right at home, and so now we are plugged in here at Freightliner for the night. There was another slight problem with the back bedroom slides not moving out, so we will be quite cozy, methinks, but I can just crawl over 1HW, and fortunately, I pulled out some extra shirts this morning. We guess we will be locked in for a while tonight, but they have even kept the lights on for us...ALL of them. So, this box of choc'lates turned out to be filled with NUTS! It's just plain NUTS! But, maybe tomorrow will bring some new, better fillings, like raspberry-filled truffles, or Grand Marnier-filled cups, or Almondero macroons, or....
